Very interesting blog —thanks for sending it — is it yours? If not, do you know who runs it, or how to contact em? I read quite a bit of whats on there. It outlines some of the same concerns I have — in fact I thought one piece was uncanny in its similarity to what I wrote to you above! Since I hadn’t seen the blog before, it seems that some…
NOTE ON THE TURKISH TRANSLATION
I don’t read Turkish, so I can’t confirm this for sure but that site seems to be either a socialist feminist inclined site or a socialist site — I assume? No? All of their links link to international left wing publications like Jacobin, New Left Review, and a handful of anarchist sites. I know…
Jessica, very late replying, apologies.
“ This makes me wonder if you’ve ever actually encountered an articulate version of the pro-trans side of the argument, or if your only knowledge of this discussion comes from Pride banners and your transphobic/TERFy friends.”

Hi Vicky, thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply. I reply below in detail to your critique.

I’m not an idiot but…
A reply not only to Molly’s comment but to the thread of conversation her comment started off: Charmed. “a white man” — very well observed there Molly. Well done. Big clap. I’m not quite sure why my ethnicity is of such interest to you, but I’m pretty much an open book so if your dead interested and…
